censure for the recommendation of these Lyons' editions
only.

Agrippa's "VANITY OF SCIENCES" was first published at
Antwerp in 4to. 1530; a book, upon the rarity of which
bibliographers delight to expatiate. His "OCCULT
PHILOSOPHY"--according to Bayle, in 1531 (at least, the
Elector of Cologne had seen several printed leaves of it in
this year), but according to Vogt and Bauer, in 1533.--There
is no question about the edition of 1533; of which Vogt
tells us, "An Englishman, residing at Frankfort, anxiously
sought for a copy of it, offering fifty crowns (imperiales)
and more, without success." All the editions in Agrippa's
life-time (before 1536) are considered uncastrated, and the
best. It should not be forgotten that Brucker, in his _Hist.
Crit. Phil._, has given a masterly account of Agrippa, and
an analysis of his works.]

Philemon heartily assented to the truth of these remarks; and, more
than once, interrupted Lysander in his panegyrical peroration by his
cheerings:[94] for he had, in his youth (as was before observed), been
instructed by the distinguished character upon whom the eulogy had
been pronounced.

[Footnote 94: This word is almost peculiar to our own
country, and means a vehement degree of applause. It is
generally used previous to, and during, a contest of any
kind--whether by men in red coats, or blue coats, or black
coats--upon land, upon water, or within doors. Even the
walls of St. Stephen's chapel frequently echo to the "_loud
cheerings_" of some kind or other. See every newspaper on
every important debate.]

The effort occasioned by the warmth in discussing such interesting
subjects nearly exhausted Lysander--when it was judged prudent to
retire to rest. Each had his chamber assigned to him; and while the
chequered moon-beam played upon the curtains and the wall, through the
half-opened shutter, the minds of Lysander and Philemon felt a
correspondent tranquillity; and sweet were their slumbers till the
morning shone full upon them.
